Echoes of Yul are a relatively new doom/ambient duo from Poland. Their 2009 eponymous debut is a droned, sludged, and ultimately dark album with some well-placed vocal samples/spoken word passages.

Band does a great job of approaching songs with a tasteful metal/heavy edge, carried by dense ambient atmospherics. For being a longer album, it really moves at a steady clip; minus a lull from "Pony" to "Ape", 'Echoes of Yul' is a feedback-tuned wall of sound that crushes to the core.
